Questions
Frequently asked
Are the four pathways different courses?
No. They share one CEFR-based English curriculum (A1–C2). The pathway sets the focus and examples used in class and helps Admissions place you appropriately.
Do I need to test my level before applying?
No. Our free placement assessment gives a preliminary indication of your level and recommends a study plan. Admissions and your trainer confirm your actual starting level before classes begin.
Can I study English online?
Yes. Classes run from our Nairobi CBD branch and online, in Regular, Intensive, Private or Business English formats.
Does IELTS preparation guarantee a score?
No. Kenya School of Languages does not guarantee IELTS scores, university admission, visas or migration outcomes.

On the Regular Study Plan, about 6 months. On the Intensive Study Plan, about 4 months. Faster Super Intensive (~2 months) and Accelerated (~1 month) options may be available — ask Admissions for current pricing and timetable.
